The family members of the late highlife musician and his first spouse, Akosua Serwaa, were present at the Kumasi High Court 5 on October 16, 2025, for the hearing against the second wife, Odo Broni, family head Victor Kofi Owusu Banahene, and Transitions Funeral Home.
The late Daddy Lumba's first wife filed a suit to seek an interlocutory injunction over her late husband’s funeral.
In a statement released on October 9, 2025, Akosua Serwaa explained that she decided to take action after not being consulted in planning her late husband's funeral.
She stated that she had been repeatedly ignored since her husband’s passing and that she only found out about the planned funeral date on social media.
Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur adjourned the hearing of the injunction application by Akosua Serwaa to October 28, 2025.
She also urged both parties and their families to consider the stature and legacy of Daddy Lumba in Ghana and find an amicable solution to end the dispute that has threatened to derail his funeral.
